Lumby road breaking away RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
RICHARD ROLKE/MORNING STAR
Portions of Trinity Valley Road, near the Lumby landfill, are sinking. The Ministry of Transportation says the situation will be addressed this spring.
There are calls for immediate action as a portion of a rural Lumby road sinks. Resident Ron Gammel is increasingly concerned that Trinity Valley Road, near the landfill, is being undermined as a portion of the road slips away. “There is no shoulder left and it’s straight down (250 feet),” he said. “This is dangerous. The blacktop has dropped eight inches in some places.” Gammel is concerned the uneven pavement could negatively impact driving conditions or the road could give way. “I’m afraid somebody is going to be killed,” he said. Rick Fairbairn, Regional District of North Okanagan director, lives next to that section of road and is aware of the situation.
2015
“When two logging trucks come down Trinity Valley Road at the same time, there may not be enough room for them to pass each other,” he said. Warning markers have been installed but Fairbairn wants more done. “I’ve notified the Ministry of Transportation and brought it to their attention,” he said. “Hopefully if it deteriorates, they will be in a position to make it right.” Fairbairn admits that beyond Trinity Valley Road, a number of roads in rural parts of the North Okanagan have been impacted by snow melt and other factors. “We have a lot of these conditions out there.” The Ministry of Transportation says it’s aware of the recent issue with the shoulder on Trinity Valley Road. “We have completed a geotechnical

City budget draws no debate RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Enderby residents aren’t busting down the doors at city hall over spending and taxes. Council held a public input session Monday as part of the 2015 budget process. “Once again we had nobody show up,” said Mayor Greg McCune. “In the 14 years I’ve been on council, I only remember one person ever coming to an input session. I don’t believe Greg McCune people don’t care but in a community our size, it’s a daily conversation with people. if people have a concern, they come and talk to us.” Three readings were given to the budget, which calls for a 2.84 per cent increase to taxes or $25 for the average home. One per cent of that goes towards infrastructure. “It’s a pretty strong budget,” said McCune.

Extra cash for Lumby recreation RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lumby politicians want to ensure critical community infrastructure is around for years to come. Council voted Monday to pump $10,000 into the White Valley parks, recreation and culture function during those years when the community forest is harvesting and generating revenue for the village. “We hope it will be every year but Lumby will need to Kevin Acton have the money to give,” said Mayor Kevin Acton, adding that harvesting timber depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. The White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee is a regional district function and it is responsible for a number of facilities including Pat Duke Memorial Arena and the community centre. “Most of the structures are aging and they are in our community, and we want to give them a little bump,” said Acton of council’s decision to increase
funding. The village had requisitioned $646,906 for parks and recreation in the 2015 budget. “The $10,000 unrestricted grant is over and above what is required by the Regional District of North Okanagan,” said Jeremy Sundin, Lumby’s director of finance.

Violation tickets issued after crash ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A single-vehicle accident in Vernon Monday resulted in some injuries and two violation tickets to the registered owner of the car involved. RCMP were called to Bella Vista Road, across from Planet Bee, just before 9 p.m. “A black Nissan Sentra was found to be off-road to the left,”
said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “There was a group of people standing around near the vehicle. A couple of people were slightly injured but nobody in the group admitted to being the driver.” Upon investigation, police discovered that one of the people standing around near the crash site was the registered owner of the Nissan, a 24-year-old man
from Armstrong, who happened to have a warrant issued for his arrest on an unrelated matter. The man was given two violation tickets, failing to keep right and driving without consideration. Police are investigating to see if speed and alcohol were possible factors in the crash which resulted in the car crashing into a fence.

Residents rally for rail corridor KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
When Lake Country resident Scott Wilson gets up every morning and heads to work, he doesn’t fire up the car and drive there, he gets out his bike, straps on the helmet and commutes via bicycle. And it’s more than just a pedal down the street to a Lake Country business. Like many in Lake Country, Wilson works in one of the neighbour communities — for him it’s a construction job in Kelowna — and despite the more than 20 kilometres between his home and work, he jumps on his bike and heads to work, normally riding along Highway 97, what he calls the safest route for cyclists to get between Lake Country and Kelowna. “It’s not that bad, it’s safer than Glenmore Road,” said Wilson, with one of his two sons at the Lake Country Rail Trail Action team’s rally on Sunday at Beasley Park in Lake Country. A father of two and a resident of Lake Country for the past eight years, Wilson says he is supporting Lake Country’s efforts to purchase the rail corridor that runs for 16 kilometres through Lake Country and spans from Kelowna to Coldstream. “As a family we are for it,” he said. “It’s a good thing to pass on to future generations. I can see us using it on a weekly basis. Right now if we want

Scott Wilson and his son Fynn enjoy the sun at Beasley Park in Lake Country where supporters of purchasing the rail corridor held a rally Sunday. to go for a bike ride we travel into Kelowna to go to the Mission Greenway but this way we could stay right here in our community. Most people I talk to are for it. Whether they come out and vote is another story.” Getting the yes side out to vote Saturday is one of the main goals of the Lake Country Rail Trail Action team, a volunteer based group that raised close to $30,000 to run its office, which included a phone campaign, an open house as well as a public rally on Sunday, featuring music and information. According to campaign co-ordinator Duane Thomson, he’s been happy with the way things have gone for the yes-side in the past month. “This is a celebration of what we can become as a community,” said Thomson. “Lake Country has a wonderful future. We
can take control of our lakeshore and increase our tourism industry. I think we’ve answered a lot of questions the no side had. Our goal was to inform the public, get a big turnout and try not to divide the community and I think we’ve done that.” Much of the concerns raised about the purchase of the rail corridor centre around the unknown costs that could be associated with purchasing the corridor as well as the impact on residents who live close to the rail corridor. Oyama resident Roger Bailey, whose land is split by the corridor, says some of his questions have been answered. But he has not been convinced there won’t be many issues surface if the corridor purchase goes ahead. “At this point I don’t have much choice, I have to vote no,” said Bailey, who formed
the group No to Being Railroaded to lobby against the purchase. “I see the community aspect of it but I think everyone would understand if the rail went a few feet from their kitchen window, they would think the same. I’m not confident anything is going to go well (with the purchase). There are a lot of extra costs coming.” Lake Country’s Scott
Wilson, whose young family lives in the Davidson Road area, says he understands the issues raised by residents who live close to the rail corridor. He says it would likely change the way he views it if he had the rail line coming that close to his property. But he also pointed to other trails, such as the Kettle Valley Railway through Naramata that has had several trailrelated businesses pop up around it, as one way to deal with it. “If it was going through my yard I would have reservations,” said Wilson. “But I’ve seen what it’s done in other areas where there are businesses that have begun. I think there are opportunities. But you are losing some of your property. Yes or no, it’s important that you make your opinion noted. Whether it’s yes or no, this has been good for the community to get people talking.”

A rough ride
hen sound reasoning is lacking, speculation abounds. That was the case last week when Vernon city council received the Ministry of Transportation’s draft 10-year transportation plan and noticed there was no mention of Highway 97 and Stickle Road. “I thought this was a high priority,” said Coun. Brian Quiring of the intersection, which is notorious for fatalities and close-calls. With no clear indication as to why Stickle wasn’t highlighted, Quiring came up with his Richard Rolke own theory. “We told them we didn’t like their solution and now it’s off the five-year plan,” he said. Now one would hope a government agency wouldn’t pursue such an approach simply because a proposal ran into opposition, but it’s difficult to imagine why Stickle Road was left out of the plan. After all, local officials and residents have been demanding safety upgrades at the intersection for years, particularly after a 2004 coroner’s report identified numerous hazards there. Leading the charge has been George Zimmerman, a Stickle Road resident who collected 1,363 names on a petition in 2006 asking for improvements there. The Regional District of North Okanagan has fired letter after letter off to the government demanding action, including one to MLA Eric Foster in 2011. “No action has been taken,” said director Bob Fleming in an interview four years ago. Fleming is the first one to point out that getting ICBC accident statistics for the intersection is challenging and even if you do get them, they are generally classified and can’t be
BEyond thE hEAdlinES
released to the public or the media. But a 2012 newspaper article states there were about four or five fatalities beginning in 2001, and 89 crashes at the intersection since 2007. One can only imagine that the number of accidents has increased given the population growth, high rate of speed on the highway and expanded commercial activities along Swan Lake. The ministry’s answer to Stickle Road is a right-in, right-out, meaning anyone wanting to go back into Vernon from the commercial strip will have to travel north along the highway and find a safe spot to turn around and go south, or use Pleasant Valley Road instead. For those tourists staying at the RV park on the opposite side of the highway, they would have to drive into Vernon and then back-track if wanting to go north. It’s not a convenient strategy and could create additional risk as motorists take chances to go in their preferred direction. The best option, and the one the ministry is fighting the most, is a traffic light at Stickle Road. “They’re all over Kamloops and West Kelowna. It’s how traffic is managed,” said Quiring. Yes, a traffic light will interrupt highway traffic and that won’t be popular with some, but a red light will hopefully bring speeds down to a more reasonable level and lead to fewer deaths and crashes. One would think this would be an option preferred by ICBC as fewer accidents is good for premiums and the corporation’s bottom line. It will be interesting to hear from the Ministry of Transportation as to why Stickle Road isn’t in the 10-year plan. Was it an oversight, is it not a priority anymore or are ministry staff too busy with other projects like a road through Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park?
Today is Earth Day, and as there aren’t really any mainstream traditions that comprise the celebrations, we are free to decide how to mark the occasion. We might get a few million years on this planet, if we’re careful, and each of us gets to live here for 81.25 of those years. It doesn’t seem too much to ask, for us to keep it clean and tidy while we’re here, and wouldn’t it be a good and worthy thing to do to leave it better off than when we arrived? It does seem a daunting task some days, the sort of days when we make messes like this month’s English Bay oil spill, have to scrub ducks with dish soap and recognize that there was a failing somewhere along the way. Are future generations going to see the Strait of Georgia the way we imagine it to be, pristine, wild, beautiful? Or will it be another polluted waterway, like too many around the world, that have become outfalls of human waste and selfishness, where we wouldn’t dream of even dipping our toes. Every day we do see instances of people doing their part to make their environment a better place. For instance, Ontario and Quebec are announcing a new carbon-credit partnership. Carbon credits aren’t a perfect solution, but they have merit, and maybe we can think along those lines as individuals. If we’re not going to stop making single-occupancy commutes in our SUVs, then maybe we can earn a credit some other way, by cleaning a stream or planting a tree or improving our recycling efforts. It is our choice to save the world or not, but there is some responsibility, we think, to leave it in good enough condition so that future generations will have that choice, too. — Nanaimo News Bulletin

Trails provide opportunities
e write to share our enthusiastic support for the Okanagan Rail Trail. We missed the rally in Lake Country only because we were vacationing in the South Okanagan, mainly for the purpose of enjoying the many kilometres of rail trails between Summerland and Osoyoos. We stayed in campgrounds run by the Osoyoos Indian Band, and supported the local communities while enjoying healthy activity and beautiful surroundings, We enjoyed discovering that again this year, additional trail sections have been upgraded through the efforts of local South Okanagan communities. People of all ages and abilities were out enjoying the trails, and it was easy to sense the community pride and connection to the trails.
SUPPORT RAIL TRAIL Consider the purchase of the CN rail corridor strictly from a business perspective. If the District of Lake Country (DLC) invests in this heavily subsidized corridor, it will be the real estate deal of the century. The purchase of the 17-kilometre corridor within Lake Country, much of it prime lakeshore, for $5.1 million (or under $50,000 per acre) is a real estate steal, made possible by the willingness of CN to accept a tax receipt for its large donation of land and the Clark government’s willingness to subsidize the purchase. The DLC must take advantage of this one-time opportunity. The Government of Canada did not gift this land to the railway. Rather, CN purchased this corridor in fee-simple from private landowners. When CN abandoned the rail line in 2013, local governments decided to purchase the land under the mandated abandonment process. The original asking price was $50 million and after negotiations, a deal was struck for $22 million. CN will donate a large part of the corridor, for which it will receive a tax receipt from the City of
We live along the route that hopefully will become the pride of the north and central Okanagan as our own portion of rail trail for local residents, visitors and future generations. As some other adjacent landowners have noted, we may experience some impacts from additional traffic, etc and we may have preferred to purchase the right of way beside our property. However, we, as many other adjacent landowners appreciate the overwhelming value of a community rail trail. This support assumes that the federal government will negotiate with the Okanagan Indian Band. There should be many opportunities for mutual benefit. This opportunity may not come again, so let's not be short-sighted, but support the Okanagan Rail Trail. Debbie and Bob Clarke
Kelowna. The provincial government will subsidize the sale by contributing $7.2 million, taking no ownership position. The Regional District of North Okanagan and Coldstream will purchase their shares from reserves. The City of Kelowna will pay for its share out of reserves. It has also agreed to help the DLC by purchasing a 50 per cent share of lands falling within Lake Country for approximately $2.5 million. With insufficient reserves, the DLC is required to borrow up to $2.6 million to complete the deal. Ownership of this corridor opens up so many possibilities. As examples, the DLC could sell surplus rail corridor lands to purchase the City of Kelowna’s share; it could reserve the large surplus lands along the Oyama isthmus for a park; and it could lease land to adjacent owners for recreational, agricultural or commercial purposes. Most importantly, citizens of Lake Country will control their own future. If the referendum fails and the DLC is unable to purchase the lands within its jurisdiction, the City of Kelowna has indicated that it may buy them. Why not? It could recover its entire investment from the sale of sur-
plus land, the most marketable being the extensive lands on the Oyama isthmus. It would receive income from leases extending far into the future and it would control development of a crucial part of Lake Country forever. Those of us who have lived in the region for years will remember that the City of Kelowna gained control of the industrial-zoned lands south of Beaver Lake Road with a stroke of the provincial pen, and despite much subsequent handwringing on the part of Lake Country, Kelowna understandably refuses to turn over the land and associated tax revenues to the DLC. Make no mistake about the implications of a Kelowna purchase. If Kelowna acquires all of the prime lakeshore real estate in Lake Country it will act strictly in its own interests. For example, if the DLC wanted to purchase land on the Oyama isthmus for a park it would buy it, not at the current heavily subsidized price, but at market value. Kelowna taxpayers would demand nothing less. If the DLC purchases the corridor, it has indicated that it would, in partnership with a local stewardship group, consult with adjacent landowners in an attempt to
mitigate negative impacts. One would not expect that neighbourly, community-building approach from a non-local owner. Purchasing the rail corridor is not only an astute business decision, it allows the citizens of Lake Country to unite their community around a common vision and to control their own destiny. I urge you to vote yes in the upcoming referendum. Duane Thomson MISCONCEPTIONS I would like to respond Mr. Miller’s letter “Enforcement needed." It seems that Mr. Miller thinks that the way deal with poverty and homelessness is to simply move the people who are experiencing these out of sight. This is definitely not the answer. These are people who deserve to be treated with dignity. There are many misconceptions about the poor and homeless. It is not the result of personal failures or inadequacies. People do not want to be poor or homeless. Lack of affordable housing, lack of social supports and the fact that minimum wage is not a living wage contribute to poverty and homelessness. Stigmatizing the poor and homeless is only making the problem
worse. I would like to invite Mr. Miller to learn more about poverty and homelessness before making such suggestions of greater enforcement to remove the poor and homeless out of sight. Jill Worboys

Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society welcomes the Smiths No, not those Smiths, led by Morrissey, but the Okanagan-based father-son duo Andrew and Zachari Smith AlessAndrA WoodWArd Special to The Morning Star
The Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society (VFRMS) has been enjoying some fabulous successes in the last few months, with some stellar performances from the likes of Pharis and Jason Romero, Ari Neufeld, and others. Continuing in the same vein, the VFRMS is excited to present Andrew and Zachari Smith, a father-son duo from Kelowna, on stage at the Vernon Elk’s Lodge Saturday. Opening for the night will be bluegrass artists and award winners Blu and Kelly Hopkins from Salmon Arm. Both Andrew and Zachari Smith have been making music their whole lives, and writing, performing, and recording together was something that occurred organically. Andrew, the elder in the Smith duo, has distinguished himself the world over as an award winning indie-folk artist, with his tapstyle guitar playing setting him apart from the crowd. In 2014, he took home the Okanagan Arts Award for the music category, but there’s a long line of accolades before that prestigious accomplishment. From Producer of the Year in 1998 (father and son also run Lakes Studio out of Kelowna, where they have engineered albums for the likes of past VFRMS performer Jane Eamon) to winning the Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition in Texas, something not many other Canadians have been able to accomplish, Andrew is no strang-
er to the recognition his talent garners. Escape Velocity was Andrew’s 2005 solo album that brought him the Instrumental Album of the Year award, while several of his songs and albums have been nominated, short-listed, or have won local and international competitions. Though the apple may not fall far from the tree, the younger Smith has every right to claim his talent as his own. Being well-rounded instrumentally (basically being able to learn any instrument he can get his hands on), Zachari tends to fall back to his first mastered passion of percussion. Having toured Canada and the U.S. with his band The Geese, he has also released four of his own solo albums that reveal inspirations of a true Dylanesque folk hero, including political expositions and environmental concerns. Describing himself as indie folk and alt. country, Zachari has carved a well deserved place in the music community by staying true to his message and his passion. Together, the Smiths have been touring Canada and Europe since 2010, showcasing their skills with spellbinding vocal harmonies and a variety of acoustic instruments such as guitar, banjo, dobro, baritone, mandolin, and drums. After the release of their latest collaborative album, Stumbling Horse, in 2014, the pair have been busy lighting up folk clubs, concert halls, and outdoor music venues with their unique folk sound. The VFRMS is also excited to present Blu and Kelly Hopkins, a duo from Salmon Arm who have been writing, singing, and traveling with their music for many years. Taking home awards such as Bluegrass Artist of the Year and Bluegrass Group of the Year in 2007 and 2008 respectively, the musicians have delighted audiences across the country with their multi-instrumental performances.

Oscar nominated film shows life under Islamic extremism On Monday, the Vernon Film Society presents Timbuktu, the first ever film from the African nation of Mauritania to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards. Set during the early days of the 2012 fundamentalist takeover of northern Mali, the film is a drama about the everyday woes of ordinary people in a city overrun by
extremist foreign fighters. U n d e r Timbuktu’s new fundamentalist rulers, music, laughter, and sports have been prohibited, Ibrahim Ahmed women have been forced to cover their heads
on pain of death, and kangaroo courts have been established to hand down punishments for even the slightest of infractions. Kidane (Ibrahim Ahmed) is a proud independent herder who lives on the edge of the city with his wife and adopted son. Although unaffected by the city’s harsh new regime, he accidently kills a fisherman in a row over the
slaughter of his prize cow. As a result, he experiences firsthand the perversion of justice practised by the city’s ruthless occupiers. Inspired by real people and events, Timbuktu movingly attests to the human will to resist the terror and injustices of extremism. “(Director) Abderrahmane Sissako confirms his status as one of the true humanists of recent cin-
ema with this stunningly shot and deeply empathetic drama,” said J. Weissberg, with Variety. Timbuktu screens Monday at the Towne Cinema at the regular times of 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are available one week ahead at the Towne and the Bean Scene for $7 (cash only). The film is in Arabic, French and Tamashek with English subtitles.

Special to The Morning Star
atching The Moose under Coyote Sleeping is one of those once-in-a-lifetime, oneof-a-kind events which defines living in a small town. A full-length original dramatic comedy written by Lumby’s own Phil Wagner, the play features remarkable performances by a talented group of local amateurs. Seeing familiar faces (Audrey Mazzega-Ingram and Ken Ingram from the Café Mazzega, for example) in lead roles is truly delightful. It is also an honour to have representatives from both the Shuswap and the Okanagan nations provide powerful narration, setting the context for our history. If you have not read the books Grassroots of Lumby and Grassroots to Treetops, you are going to find the dialogue fast paced, like a roller coaster, particularly as many of our diverse immigrant’s accents are tackled so bravely. Watching one actor switch
Doug Jones
Kaiden Ross (left) and Ken ingram play a multitude of characters in The Moose Under Coyote Sleeping, which continues Thursday to Saturday at Lumby’s Charles bloom Community Theatre. from French to English or Chinese in the course of minutes, makes for both humour and respect. Speaking of multiple languages, credit is also due to four people who helped with translation during the writing and production of the play:
Kevin Yap (French), Ying Jun Li (Mandarin), Donna Antoine (Shuswap) and Ruby Alexis (Okanagan). Racing through vignettes, portraying more than 100 years of recorded history as well as legends and myths from pre-contact times, The
Moose Under Coyote Sleeping has given local artists, technicians and stage hands a wonderful opportunity to stretch themselves. Particular credit must go to James Postill for the concept art and production of the intriguing set, and Annette Welz for creative costuming (you have to see Gladys Duke’s wedding dress). But in naming two people I run the risk of offending the dozens of others who created marvelous props and set pieces inspired by true events in the Monashees: Pete Catt’s tractor court and the chicken coop school bus are particularly delightful as well as historically accurate, but there are modern surprises too. (Hang gliding anyone?) I can’t think of a better way to spend an evening enjoying local history. Only three performances are left, so don’t miss out. Tickets are available at the door of the Charles Bloom Community Theatre in Lumby. Doors open at 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Woman in Gold is a major British-American drama directed by Simon Curtis (My Week with Marilyn), scripted by award-winner Alexi Kaye Campbell, starring Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds. It’s based on the fascinating true story of Maria Altmann (Mirren), an elderly Jewish refugee in Los Angeles who fights the government of Austria to reclaim Gustav Klimt’s iconic painting of her aunt, Adele Bloch-Bauer, stolen by the Nazis from her relatives in Vienna just prior to the Second World War and later displayed in the Austrian State Gallery. Altmann constantly relives the arrival of Nazi forces in Vienna, the suppression of Jewish ideology, and the looting and pillage by the Nazis against Jewish families. Altmann and her family had attempted to flee to the U.S., but while Altmann succeeded, her parents were killed in the death camps. When the elderly Altmann attends her sister’s funeral, she discovers letters revealing an attempt to recover artwork that had been stolen by the Nazis. Of particular note is Klimt’s painting of Altmann’s aunt, known in Austria as the Woman in Gold, and described as “Vienna’s Mona Lisa.” Altmann is helped by lawyer Randol Schoenberg (Reynolds), to make a claim at the art restitution board in Vienna. But the country’s minister and art director won’t part with the painting, which has become part of the national identity, and supplies false information that the family legitimately willed

the painting to the gallery. But the will only left the painting to the gallery provided there were no surviving relatives. Based on this evidence, Schoenberg files the claim, but is denied by the restitution board. Schoenberg discovers a legal loophole, and takes the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. But although he wins against the Austrian government, he falls out with Altmann, and she and Schoenberg now have to act separately against the Austrian government, who still want to keep the painting. The painting (plus four others from Klimt’s golden phase) were estimated to be collectively worth at least $150 million. In monetary terms this represented the largest single collection of Nazi-looted art in Austria. The Woman and Gold screens at the Vernon Towne Cinema starting Friday, with weekend matinees and daily evening shows, except on Monday, April 27.

Earth Day celebrated
T
oday is the 45th anniversary of Earth Day. Hope you have a great day. Many activities are going on around the world. Many web sites have suggestions for this day like Jocelyne Sewell planting wildflowers, or native plants which will thrive in their natural habitat. Plant flowers that will attract butterflies. Grow an organic vegetable garden. It is easier than you think. One of the most important suggestions is to conserve water, and tips for how to do it in your garden are at www.almanac.com/content/water-wise-garden. This year I am cleaning the garden and cutting down on
A GArdener’s diAry
the numbers of the same plants. Some of them just multiply if you blink and the first thing you know, they take over all the space. I have lots of plants in pots that should have been in the garden by now but I could never find the space. This year I hope that all my potted plants will be in the ground by the end of June. Some of the pots are getting too large for moving around. I am also sure that rocks grow with time. They are a lot heavier than 10 years ago. One of the plants I have to be careful with is Elecampane: Inula Helenium. From Rodale’s Herb Book here goes: known primarily for its bitterness and pungency, elecampane was widely used by the ancient Romans. Planting elecampane in a garden to grow proudly alongside the geraniums and the daisies is perfectly natural. Most people don’t realize that it’s also perfectly natural for this herb to be sitting next to the
Vicks and the throat lozenges in the medicine cabinet. Herbalists throughout the world have used elecampane’s thickened root for treating diseases of the chest. Rarely used alone, the dried, crushed root is said to be an effective ingredient in many compound medicines. Elecampane can still be used as a remedy for coughs and other minor respiratory ailments. To make a tea for this purpose, simmer an ounce of the root in a pint of water, and let cool. Culinary: The rootstock has been traditionally used as a flavouring for sweets; it has also been candied and eaten as a sweet itself. Ornamental: While it has traditionally been a favourite in herb gardens, elecampane can also make a striking addition to many types of outdoor gardens and natural habitats. Craft: Elecampane can be striking in dried arrangements, too. Cut the flower
heads when the plant reaches its brown stage. Cultivation: Elecampane is easily propagated from root cuttings taken in the fall. The roots will develop into plants by early spring. The plant prefers a clay loam that is moist and welldrained, and a slightly shaded spot. If you intend to harvest the plant’s roots for medicinal purposes, do so in the fall of the plant’s second growing year, after two hard frosts. The plant can reach about four or five feet and has very large leaves that give it an exotic look. The flowers are yellow and the plant blooms July to August. I am not doing the market in Lumby this year but I will be available at my house for perennials, tomato plants and many others like herbs and vegetable plants. I will do this May 2 to early June.

The Vernon Lions are set to solve a mystery Morning Star Staff
The spring Murder Mystery fundraiser presented by the Vernon Lions Club is coming to the Schubert Centre for the fourth year in a row on Saturday. Tickets are still available for the evening event which includes a full buffet dinner, an entertaining murder mystery play, a raffle basket extravaganza and a chance to bid on quality silent auction items. Profits from this year’s event will support Independent Living of Vernon Youth Programs and the Schubert Centre Society
Hearing Loop Project. This year’s play is entitled Spotlight On Murder by Jim and Joyce Elderton, and volunteer experienced actors from the community have been tirelessly rehearsing their parts. Producer Val Heuman is thrilled about the play set in Halifax in the late ‘50s as a small theatre company completes their final night prior to packing up the show for an engagement in New York. The players are hoping to be discovered on the U.S. stage but their Halifax clos-
ing night performance brings some nasty surprises, turning the spotlight on murder instead. Get your tickets from Lions Club members, Jack at the Schubert Centre or by calling Lion Patrick at 250-549-3090. Your vote for who has blood on their hands could win you a terrific prize. Doors open at 5 p.m. for cocktails, with the first part of the murder mystery taking place at 6 p.m. Dinner starts at 7:15 p.m. followed by the second part of the murder mystery at 8:15 p.m.

Anzac Day remembers Gallipoli Every year on April 25, Australians and New Zealanders honour their people who served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations
Don Hull Special to The Morning Star
April, 25, 2015 is an historic date for all Australians. That date marks the 100th anniversary of the fateful date in 1915
when soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzacs) stormed ashore at the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey. The peninsula guarded the entrance to the Dardenelles Strait
through which Allied warships planned to sail and eventually occupy Constantinople (Istanbul). The attack was poorly planned, lacking intelligence regarding the area and its defences. Also, the Commonwealth forces (which included a Newfoundland regiment) had little support from the navy, many of whose ships were largely paralysed by mines. After eight months of fierce fighting against superior numbers in a
most rugged and unfamiliar terrain, a stalemate was reached and evacuation was ordered. Australian losses totalled 8,709 and New Zealand lost 2,701 men. In that time the invaders had advanced one kilometre into enemy territory. The bravery and spirit shown by the Anzacs has often been quoted as the forging of Australia’s nationhood. Anzac Day was first recognized in 1916 and has been held annually ever since. It is now a

national public holiday, and while initially it was a tribute to those who fought at Gallipoli and those who died there, it has now become a memorial for all Australians who have died in wars. Most cities and towns in Australia stage marches and wreathlaying ceremonies on the day and many have dawn services. At an Anzac Day parade I attended in Sydney 10 years ago, it took two hours to pass a given point. As a cub in the 1930s, I marched in several parades, which included both Boer War and First World War veterans. An uncle of mine fought and was wounded at Gallipoli. Gallipoli has been recalled in the movie of

Pilgrimages are made
to Gallipoli to honour the Anzacs, especially in this significant year, on Anzac Day. Formerly of Newcastle, NSW, Australia, Don Hull is a retired educator who now lives in Vernon.
Home alone
y husband has left me — for two weeks, a blink of an eye in planetary time, too infinitesimal to mention, but for me it is time enough for the pilot light of memory to spark a bonfire of irrational fear, one that burns hot, especially at night. I am not a fearful person, but I fear being alone. I did not have such a phobia as a child or an adolescent. In my Dr. April Sanders 20s I was taught to be fearful, through the kind of experience many women share. I learned that in a world where there are predators who view women as prey, a woman alone is a fish in a barrel, a target so irresistible it cannot be overlooked. As a young teacher, I lived in a rented house and loved the freedom of a country place all my own. Before bed, I sat at the kitchen table marking report cards when a disembodied hand knocked on the window directly in front of me and beckoned me to come out. I went to the door but no one was there. A few minutes later it happened again. Angry, I opened the patio door and said, “What do you want?” A voice from the dark replied, “You know what we want.” More angry than afraid, I relocked the door, drew the curtains and phoned the police. The dispatch asked me if anyone had broken into my home and I replied, “No”. The police told me they were in the area and to call back if anyone attempted to enter. I
second opinion
was horrified. Pumped with the adrenaline of rage, fear and disbelief, I took a knife from the kitchen, determined I would use it, and sat by the phone. Nothing happened. Outside I heard wood splinter again and again, then silence prevailed. Just as I dared to hope the ordeal was over, a slap of winter air filled the room and I looked around the corner to see a leg coming through my half open bedroom window. I called the police. Within seconds two officers arrived and I was escorted outside. The peculiar noises I previously heard came from the removal of my storm windows. Every one lay neatly on the lawn like eggs in a carton, sequentially removed in search of a window that was not painted shut. A shattered window well led to muddy footprints through the basement and up the stairs where they were rebuffed at the locked door that separated the basement from the kitchen. Someone had been in my home, just feet away from me, frustrated by a door. The policeman asked me, “Why do you live alone?” a rhetorical question that fanned my fury. Was my victim status open for debate? Before this night, I had thought I had the right to choose. Although I was unharmed and 36 years have passed, the experience has left a scar. I resent the sleep I lose and the anger I feel when I am alone and vulnerable in my own home for no other reason than my gender, yet I have been taught that a woman alone can become prey. It is a brand on my subconscious, one that flares and burns hot when I am alone, one that I will always carry.

Invasive species focus of government funding Morning Star Staff
The fight against invasive plants is getting a financial boost. The provincial government is providing $34,400 to the Regional District of North Okanagan to help control the spread of invasive plants and $10,000 to the ColumbiaShuswap Regional District. “Educating the public about invasive species is an important component of this program,” said Eric Foster, Ve r n o n - M o n a s h e e MLA. “It will also promote a better understanding of how to deal with invasive species.”
“It will promote a better understanding...” — Eric Foster
Invasive plants are species that have been introduced into B.C. from other areas. They displace native vegetation and can cause considerable economic and environmental damage. Invasive plants can disrupt natural ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, increase soil erosion, alter soil chemistry and adversely affect commercial crops. The provincial gov-
ernment is also providing $14,000 to the C o l u m b i a - S hu s w ap Invasive Species Society. “Invasive plants are a growing concern in our region and across B.C.,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA. “Their damage is long lasting and extremely harmful to local ecosystems. We need to ensure they are no longer a threat in our area.”

Lace up for MS walk/run Morning Star Staff
The Vernon MS Society holds its annual walk/run/ride/silent auction Sunday at Polson Park. Registration starts at 10 a.m. (with help from the Kiss FM Events Crew), and the walk starts at 11 a.m. The auction finishes at 2 p.m. “We are ordering nice warm weather and plan to have a fantastic event,” said René Gendron, event spokesperson. The Vernon MS Society ensures all funds raised locally remain in the Okanagan area. “We send help into homes to clean, do laundry or cut lawns as required,” said Gendron. “We also help with transportation to doctors, hospitals or to MS clinics if needed.” Everybody is welcome to participate and that includes organizations, sports teams, schools, choirs and other charities who can join the walk and keep half the funds they raise for their own

What are your feet doing? At The Morning Star we employ feet to get our newspaper to your doorstep.
Using your feet to help deliver the news is a great form of exercise and a healthy way to stay in shape. It also relieves stress and lowers your blood pressure. Here are some interesting facts about feet: • Each toe has three bones except the big toe, which only has two. • 25% of the bones in your body are in your feet. That’s 26 bones! Or in some rare cases, 28! • Your feet excrete as much as half a pint of moisture every day • The largest feet in the world belong to a man sporting size 28½ • The average person walks about 10,000 steps a day. Over a lifetime that’s 4 times around the world • Standing is more tiring than walking because of the strain placed on the same few muscles

pastoral land leased from the province. Marriott’s first job at the ranch was breaking work horses. The huge barn at the ranch had three separate divisions: one for saddle horses, the centre section for work horse teams, and on for training work horse colts. Marriott and Jim Ragan, who was in charge of breaking work horses, started off by getting the young horses used to being handled and to put them in harness for the first time. Once they were used to this, they would be teamed up with an old, steady work horse that knew its business and harnessed to a light, strong wagon with a good set of brakes. Ragan would sit on the wagon with the reins and Marriot would run alongside with a rope from the colt’s harness through a strap on its ankle joint. If the colt got too excited, Marriot could pull on the rope and drop the colt to its knees. The men would work on two colts in the morning and two in the afternoon and, after about a week or ten days, the colts would be used to the harness and the rattle of wagon wheels. With a great deal of patience and gentleness and the steadying influence of the experienced horse, the colt would be ready for light duty for a time before the real heavy pulling began. Marriott hauled hay from the Gang Ranch extensive fields all through the summer and until it was all put in stacks sometime in mid-November. There were about 45 men involved in putting up hay for the ranch, after which some of them, Marriot included, were employed hauling firewood logs for the next year’s wood supply.

Trees at root of wind woes ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A March wind storm is causing concern for some Armstrong residents. The wicked wind on March 14 knocked a large fir tree down across Okanagan Street, resulting in a nearly 10-hour power outage in the southeast sector of the city. Since then, the city’s public works department has received calls and e-mails from concerned residents asking the city to remove other large trees before they fall and cause damage. “The city budgets annually to remove trees that are dead, causing visibility issues or interfering with utility infrastructure,” said Tim Perepolkin, public works manager. “Any trees that are interfering with B.C. Hydro or Telus wires are dealt with by those independent utility companies as they deem necessary.” Trees, he said, are not removed unless there is a known hazard. Market contributes The B.C. Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon has been ben-
eficial in Armstrong. The B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets wrote the city to say the coupon program contributed $9,239 to support the collaboration of the Armstrong Farmers’ Market and Okanagan Boys and Girls Club in providing lower-income pregnant women, families and seniors with coupons. Those coupons allowed individuals to buy fresh meat, vegetables, fruit, dairy, fish,
eggs, nuts and herbs at the local farmers’ market. “Program participants also learned how to prepare these foods into healthy meals,” said Jon Bell, president of the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets. Road closure Council unanimously agreed to a request from the Vernon Cam Jammers Car Club to close the east- and westbound lanes of Pleasant Valley Boulevard.
The request is to accommodate the club’s newly named car show, Rods N Rails, which will take place in Armstrong Aug. 15. “We would need to barricade the road from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.,” said the club in a letter to council. The club will block off the west end of Pleasant Valley Boulevard completely and have all show vehicles enter on the east end.

C’s split with Giants, Dodgers Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Canadians went 2-for-4 in a B.C. Midget AAA Baseball League road trip to the coast, splitting twinbills with the South Fraser Giants of Surrey and Aldergrove Dodgers. Third baseman Chris Riva rapped five singles and swiped two bases as Vernon outlasted Aldergrove 13-11 in Game 2 of a Sunday doubleheader at Athletic Park. Kadyn Thomas pitched four innings, striking out three and allowing four earned runs. Koichiro Yano tossed two innings in relief and Ethan Huizinga earned the save. Centre fielder Tyler Liefke went 2-for-3 with four stolen bases and three runs, while shortstop Caden Thomas was 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs. Right fielder Tyler Wellman was 2- for 3 with a double, two RBI and two walks. Aldergrove ambushed the C’s 11-1 in the opener with Garner Chudyk going four innings, striking out three and allowing seven earned runs. Kyle Ciurka gave up four earned runs in three relief innings. Liefke walked three times and and had two stolen bases, while shortstop Dylan Emmons singled, swiped a pair of bases and scored the run. “I am very proud of the way the boys responded after the
tough loss Sunday morning,” said Vernon coach Ken Liefke. “You find out what you are made of after a loss like that. We are very resilient. We are quite happy with our play this season. Three of our losses were by one run. We are now 2-5 and could easily be 5-2 but that is the way it goes sometimes.” Emmons hurled a three-hitter with six punchouts Saturday as the C’s stopped the Giants 8-1 in Game 1 at Unwin Park. Emmons also supplied two hits, one stolen base and three runs, while Chudyk was 2-for-3 with a double and three ribbies. The Giants took the nightcap 5-4 with a controversial call ending the game. Wellman gave up four earned runs over six innings while fanning four. Ciurka pitched the last inning, giving up the winning run on a bizarre play. “The bases were loaded, our infield was in and the ball was hit to our third baseman who went home for the force,” said Liefke. “The umpire called him safe saying ‘he was under the tag.’ We told him the bases were loaded and it was a force. He said ‘oh ya, you are right but the catcher’s foot was off the base’’, and then left the park.” Thomas drove in two runs wth a double and single, while Emmons knocked in three runs with three hits.
Club champions in Vernon, third best in the province. The Vernon Curling Club’s men’s champion rink of skip Kevin Geistlinger, third Jonathan Gardner, second Ian Veitch and lead Wayne Ovens won the bronze medal at the 16th Pacific International Cup tournament at the Richmond Curling Club. The event served as the qualifier for the 2015 Travelers Canadian Club championships in November in Ottawa. “Our first goal was to make the medal round,” said Geistlinger, who won the provincial club final in 2009 with Darren Heath, Kevin Pickering and Dan Colton, and lost the Canadian final that year in an extra end. “It was a good experience. We were happy to come back with a medal. The guys (Gardner, Veitch, Ovens) loved it. It was their first time and we were treated so well.” Geistlinger qualified for the semifinal of the eight-team B.C. pool by going 5-2 in the roundrobin, winning his last four games, 6-4 over Scott Peet of Creston, 5-3 against Norm Richard of Richmond, 9-1 over Brad Zealand of Port Hardy and 9-4 versus Gerald Poelman of Duncan. That put the Vernon champs into the Saturday semifinal against Jeff Guignard of Vancouver (6-1), who beat Geistlinger 10-7 in draw three of the preliminary round. This time, Guignard scored a 7-5 win over Geistlinger to earn a berth in the final against undefeated Kevin Britz of Chilliwack (7-0). “The ice was difficult and we struggled with it at times during the week,” said Geistlinger. “It was fast ice, too, and we just weren’t as sharp as the Vancouver team.” Britz defeated Guignard 7-5 to win the provincial championship and earn a spot in the event’s final against the 10-team International Pool champion, Greg Wilson of Illinois. Britz needed an extra end to beat the Americans 5-4. Skipped by Greg Wilson and featuring Michael Rane, Colin Rittgers and Lloyd Yanis, the Illinois rink from suburban Chicago won the international men’s pool with a 6-3 victory over Yukon. Leanne Andrews of Cloverdale iced Washington State’s Claire Bonin 9-5 in the women’s final, Earlier in the day, Andrews’ Cloverdale team secured a berth in the Travelers with an 8-2 upset of previously-undefeated Campbell River (Island North) in the B.C. women’s final. Chilliwack matched Cloverdale’s feat in the men’s division, winning both the B.C. and PIC championships. Britz’s Fraser Valley rink also featured James Crawford, Darren Jarvis and Ken Britz and went undefeated in nine games, sweeping through the round-robin

Ogopogos bounce Bosman Morning Star Staff
The Turn-Key Ogopogos destroyed the Bosman Accounting playoff party on the final night of the regular season in 2014. The Pogos again got the best of Bosman in a 2-1 Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League victory Monday night at Marshall Field #1. Ruben Cervantes connected on a corker in the first half off sweet feeds from Brad Conlin and Bryan Schenker. Bosman keeper Yogi Kongsdorf had no chance on the blast. The Pogos, who enjoyed multiple corners by newbie Rick Danyluk in the first 45 minutes, made it 2-0 early in the second half when Duane Dennis buried a shot off the inside post. Keeper Bryan Cope and the Turn-Key back four were stingy all night until Henk Bosman moved to striker from the back line for a late goal, set up by Glenn Verdurmen. Volker Otto patrolled central fullback most of the second half, clearing out many chances with
his speed and authoritive kicks. He also made a dazzling run inside the 18 and just missed the top corner with a header off a Danyluk corner. A yellow card was issued to Bosman defender Gerard Geelkerken for taking down Cervantes. Johnny Orton and Don Balcombe each scored twice as the Leko Precast Camels shelled the Silver Stars 7-2 at Marshall #4. Ian Butler and Ron Krause shared the goalkeeping. It was 4-0 Humpbacks at the half. Ageless Steve Coombs was an anchor on the back line, winning challenges and distributing the ball effectively for the Silver Stars, who were missing nine injured regulars John (Bugsy) Bugden, with a seeing-eye free kick, and John Matjeka supplied the Stars’ goals. Brown Benefits shaded North Country Appraisals Kickers 2-1 at Parkinson #16 in Kelowna. Steve Nader and Chris Young scored for Browns, while Steve Frost replied for North Country. RPM Automotive shut out Rutland Spirit 5-0.

Mattson sweeps racquetball title Morning Star Staff
Tanner Mattson of North Vancouver dominated the B.C. Racquetball Championships at Rosters for the second straight year. Mattson, 23, who is the topranked player in the province and No. 12 in Canada, claimed the Men’s Open singles title by knocking off unranked David Serra of Langley Tanner Mattson 15-7, 15-4. “This was a David and Goliath match with the power of Mattson at well over six feet tall against the agility of the 5-foot-9 Serra,” said tournament director Doug Ross. “David is amazingly quick and dives all over the court, but Tanner was crushing the ball and just overpowered him.” Serra reached the finals by stopping. no. 7 Keith Callander of Kamloops in the quarterfinals and sixth-rated Brad Strugnell of Victoria in the semis. Mattson, who is on Çanada’s development team, made short work of his doubles partner Travis Einarson, of Port Moody, 15-5, 15-4 in the semi. Mattson and Einarson defeated Strugnell and Rick Gartel of Surrey 15-3, 15-13 in the Men’s Doubles final. Mattson, who plays out of Revs Club in Burnaby, hopes to qualify for Canada’s team for the Pan Am

No. 5 Gartel managed to ground locals Al Cuttriss 15-10, 15-10 and Doug Ross 16-14, 15-13 in roundrobin action to take the Men’s Elite singles crown. Cuttriss took second, Ross third and Richard Gauthier of Kelowna fourth. Cuttriss faired better in his second event, capturing the Men’s A division by bouncing Bill Burdge of Abbotsford 10-15, 15-8, 11-5 in a tiebreaker. Vernon’s Ken McCluskey took third in Men’s A outlasting Chuck Tanner of Kamloops 15-11, 13-15, 11-8. Without enough high-end female competition, No. 1 Diana Hambley of Abbotsford and fourth-ranked Josephine Choi of Coquitlam chose to play in the Men’s B draw and both reached the final. Experience trumped youth as the veteran Hambley slipped by the upand-coming 16-year-old Choi 15-6, 15-11. Roger Roy of Salmon Arm was third in the Men’s B, but dominated the Men’s C class by defeating Josh Spruce of Vernon 15-13, 15-7.

There was a field of 40. The nationals go May 17-23, in Burnaby, featuring a large contingent of local players.

Be part of something monumental. Funded largely by the MS Society, Canadian researchers have brought the cure for MS within reach. Let’s take this last step together.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t allow the actions or words of others to have a negative effect on you. Relatives or co-workers will be hard to get along with. You are best off working alone.
Previous Solution
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Personal matters will require your undivided attention. You will need to take on extra responsibilities, so be prepared to step up and do what’s necessary. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Moderation is key. You can make financial gains, but only if you are logical, not emotional. Someone else’s plan will not be in your best
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have the energy and self-control to finish what you start. Leave yourself some time at the end of the day to enjoy pleasant recreation or to spend time with someone you love.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder ONE OF THE TOUGHEST DEFENSES TO FIND Holly Lisle, an author of fantasy, science fiction, paranormal romance and romantic suspense novels, wrote, “If you don’t accept responsibility for your own actions, then you are forever chained to a position of defence.” At the bridge table, sometimes your partner will cause you to mis-defend. Much more often, though, you must be responsible for your own choices. And some defensive plays can be very hard to find. The one in this deal would elude most players. South is in four hearts. West leads the spade queen: two, eight, five. West
continues with the spade jack and a third spade, which declarer ruffs. South draws two rounds of trumps, West discarding either the club two or club nine on the second. Declarer continues with the club ace and king, then he gets off play with a trump. What should East lead to trick nine? The bidding featured a textbook game-invitational limit raise by North. South happily went on to game. East should realize that if declarer had held a club loser, he would have ruffed it in the dummy. Having got that far, many Easts would shift to a diamond. But if South follows the odds by playing for split honours, he will make his contract, losing only two spades and
one heart. East should work out that South must have started with 2-5-4-2 shape. And if so, it is right to concede a ruff-and-sluff by leading a spade or a club. This cannot give away the contract, and will be the winner here. Declarer cannot avoid losing a diamond trick.

Dad was happiest behind the wheel, or with a golf club in his hand on hot, sunny days. Martin was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and a dear friend to many, especially “The Caucus” at the Shubert Center. He is predeceased by wife Helene, sisters; Leah, Terry, Marie and Rita. He is lovingly survived by his children; Germaine (Bob), Robert (Janice), Debrah, Richard (Lorraine), TerriLynn (Kevin), grandchildren: Ben, Andrew, Jennifer, Tony, Riley, and great-grandaughter Maya. He is also survived by his brother Gerry (Dora) along with numerous nieces, nephews and extended family members. Pops will definitely be missed.

Mildred Louise Hartman 1921 - 2015
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mildred on April 20, 2015 in Vernon, BC. She was predeceased by her parents, long-time North Okanagan Pioneers, Alice and Lew Brydon; siblings: Harold, Wilbert, and Norma; husband: Werner in 1995; sons: Douglas, Fergus, and Lawrence; and grandson: MacKenzie. She is survived by her sons: Will (Roberta) of Surrey, Lewis of Armstrong; daughter: Heather (John) of Armstrong; 15 grandchildren; 20 great grandchildren; and 1 great great granddaughter. Mildred was born on the family homestead in China Valley in July 1921. A few years later, they moved to a farm in Armstrong when the kids needed to go to school. Mildred was an IPE member since 1929, showing prized Ayrshire cattle in her early years. Later on she had multiple entries in knitting and baked goods. She was an outdoor lady who was never very far from her veggie garden and after Werner passed on, she kept up his beloved flower garden. She was a member of Kalamalka Rebekah Lodge for over 70 years. Every kid (big or small) loved to go to granny’s the cookie jar was nearly always full and the coffee pot on. She accepted everybody for who they really were and not who they were supposed to be. A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, April 24, 2015 at Armstrong Bible Chapel (2145 Rosedale Avenue, Armstrong, BC). Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca In lieu of flowers, please take a friend for lunch.
